Abstract: A method for performing an on-board diagnostic function in a motor vehicle including at least one drive system, at least one operating element and at least one control unit with a processor, a control module and an on-board diagnostic function module. The method includes the steps of: activating an on-board diagnostic function in the on-board diagnostic function module; supplying a first signal profile (S1) of an operating value (CV) of the operating element to an analysis module; the analysis module analyzing the first signal profile (S1) of the operating value (CV); activating a filtering module in the event of a positive analysis result; and the filtering module filtering the first signal profile (S1) of the operating value (CV) with selected damping parameters (DP) upon activation of the filtering module in order to obtain a filtered second signal profile (S2) of the operating element.

Abstract: A drive train arrangement for a motor vehicle includes at least one drive device, a start-up element arrangement, a gear drive arrangement, at least one driveshaft configured to drive drive wheels, an electronic operator control member configured to be operated, a torque control member, and a controller. The controller is configured to store torque regions for a change in load and to transmit a torque default value to the torque control member depending on an actuation of the electronic operator control member. The stored torque regions are zero transition regions with a zero transition starting point and a zero transition end point for covering all zero-load clearance regions. The controller is configured to adapt at least one respective zero transition region of at least one respective stored torque region.

Abstract: A method for controlling an engine in a motor vehicle includes determining a theoretical inertia of a drivetrain during a change of an operating mode of the engine, detecting an actual inertia in the drivetrain during the change of the operating mode, and increasing a rotational speed of the engine in response to detecting the actual inertia. The method further includes detecting an inertia overcome, determining a difference between the theoretical inertia and the inertia overcome, and reducing the rotational speed of the engine if the difference becomes less than a threshold value.

Abstract: A method for controlling an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes detecting a driving situation of the motor vehicle and determining a setpoint torque (M2) based on the detected driving situation. An expected driving situation of the motor vehicle is ascertained and a torque reserve is determined based on the ascertained expected driving situation of the motor vehicle. The setpoint torque (M2) is set by setting an ignition angle of the internal combustion engine, and the torque reserve (MR) is set by setting a pressure of a gas mixture that flows into the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A folding door storage system for an opening of a closet including a first door panel and a second door panel, which panels are pivotal with respect to one another, and a carrier arrangement which can be moved, in a folded state of the door panels in which they are aligned parallel with one another, together with the door panels into a storage space. In order to achieve a safe guiding and moving of the door panels and in order to be able to use the system also for very large dimensions, the first door panel is mounted for movement transversely with respect to the front side of the closet on a guide rail by means of a guide element, wherein the guide element, in the folded state of the door panels, can be transferred into a second guide rail arranged parallel with respect to an outside wall of the closet. A locking mechanism is mounted on the carrier arrangement, which locking mechanism prevents unintended movements and swivellings of the door panels.
